Megan Willis basically keeps saying that this morning 😂

[Js1 85547]

Way better first inning against UNM. We didn’t walk 3 and give up 2 runs. 

Think Adams > White at the moment.

Sully 2-run HR! 2-0 Texas

[shadow_operative2.0 16020]

7-0, top 3 now. I like our chances. 

[Js1 85547]

12-0 (5) no no by Adams! 

[Js1 85547]

8-1 winner

[VirginiaLonghorn 4781]

Steve Singleton has done a helluva job with their hitting.  Everyone .. except Popelka .. has a nice compact stroke and uses the entire field.

Whatever he’s selling, they’re buying.

[Js1 85547]

 

[Js1 85547]

Gave up 3 unearned runs in the first to SDSU. Parker hit a solo HR to claw one back 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Oof. Not a great start

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Yeah I’m not going to watch the tape delay broadcast tonight. Already 3 errors in 3 innings of play by the Horns. I know it’s ugly 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

5-1 South Dakota mid 3rd

[Js1 85547]

All unearned.

Jesus Christ, this defense.  

[Js1 85547]

1 on Burke

1 on Day

1 on Corona

And we can't seem to get going offensively.  1 run on 3 hits in 3 innings and just hit into a DP. 

[Js1 85547]

We woke up in the 6th

Rhodes bunt single

Mak parker double

Sully walk

Iakopo RBI single

Ellsworth 2 RBI double

Burke SF that scores 2

 

6-5 Texas

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16020]

‘SF that scores 2.’ 

Women. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Go ahead 2 run sac fly 😂 

[Js1 85547]

I also called them SDSU earlier.  They are not South Dakota State.  It's University of South Dakota.

Apologies to the Coyotes, not the Jackrabbits.

Texas wins 6-5 on a 5-run 6th inning.   All of Day's 5 runs unearned. 

UT Arlington tomorrow at 11am and UTSA at 1:30

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Never in doubt

I might DVR the tape delay to see exactly how that happened.

Ellsworth and Iakopo aren't exactly speedsters, it had to have been as deep as the ball could go without leaving and at least one misplay or bad throw, but I didn't see an error on the play. 

[torre 1286]

With Covid scheduling, limited travel for teams, etc,   suppose there is the risk of "playing down" to the competition and not having focus.

These teams are terrible.    SDak (4-20) UTSA (5-13) UTA (4-18)

 

Stats:   2nd Hitting, 3rd Pitching, Last in Fielding     Gets real on Thurs with Tech coming to town.

I am pretty sure the outfielder stumbled after making the catch, near the fence.

Yep Texas Sports recap said she stumbled. Thanks! 

[shadow_operative2.0 16020]

Just saw it on the delay, she certainly didn't put much on the throw back in after the stumble either. 

[Pato del Muerto 52571]

Turned it on in time to see Parker’s double and all that followed on the replay. Third time through they must have figured her out. Was quite a shock to see the score, inning, and team records when it came up though. 

[Js1 85547]

Bottom 2nd

JJ Smith double

Popelka single 

Double steal scored a run 

1-0 Texas on UTA

[Js1 85547]

UTA responds with back to back 2 out singles to tie it up 

[Pato del Muerto 52571]

These games should be much easier than they have been.

You left out the dropped third strike in between to both extend the inning and move a runner to second to score on the  following single. 

[Pato del Muerto 52571]

Walk off suicide squeeze.  Parker gets it down, pop scores. 2-1

We're surprisingly getting tested this weekend.

UTA has had salty pitching the last few years 

[Js1 85547]

Much better versus UTSA. 5-0 b4. Rhodes with 2 HR already 

[Js1 85547]

She has 3 HR now for Shannon. A solo shot, a 2 run HR and a 3 run HR in that order 

 

[Js1 85547]

Texas wins 8-0 (5). Also our 43 HR in 26 games is now on pace to beat the school record of 88. 

[Js1 85547]

We’ve had some real talent come through for 18 HR in one season to be the “record”

Rhodes with 12 and Iakopo with 10. They’ll both surpass 18.

[Js1 85547]

Rhodes didn’t get cheated on any of those HRs. 2 off the scoreboard and the third cleared the wall by A LOT

 

[GreenspointTexas 9665]

Just think if we had Elish

[Js1 85547]

Jefferson is back! 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16020]

8-1 in top 5, I like our chances. 

Spoiler

And no errors! 

 

[Js1 85547]

Texas wins 9-1 (6)

[Machinator 32099]

 

[Js1 85547]

3 games coming up against Tech, starting tonight.  All games on LHN - 6, 6 and 1

Texas Tech is 16-13 (0-3 Big 12).  

They beat A&M 2-1, lost twice to Arky 0-9 and 0-8, split with Texas State, split with something called Kansas City and just got swept by Baylor 2-5, 2-8, 2-5.

They suck. 

.286 BA, 32 doubles, 5 triples, 21 HR, 68 walks to 132 strikeouts, 32-36 SB, .985 fielding %

3.51 ERA, 99/104 runs earned, 24 HR allowed

 

This should be a sweep.
